Not as bad as other people made out

Rating: 7/10 (16 January 2006)

I rented this flick as I didn't fancy anything else on offer, and I thought it was quite good! Clearly Pearl Harbour and Armageddon were totally rubbish. But this was pretty entertaining. Plus really good surround sound. Ewan was outstanding. I caught the end of Arnie's 6th Day on the same evening I view this, and found this film far superior. Good fun, visually impressive but "suspend your disbelief" if you want to enjoy it fully.
Although the some of you might see the similarities between this and the classic Logan's Run (Carosel begins.....Lottery begins....) I think that ultimately Bay has presented a reasonable movie here and although some talent is left with little to do, the two leads have enough rapport to keep you interested.
